The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct peculiar to officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order. Offenses by officials also include ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for nonofficials, on the grounds that more is expected of officials by their oaths of office.

Correct. However, in the case of 0bamacare, 0bama committed 'Fraudulent Misrepresentation' by lying about 'keep your health care plan' and 'keep your doctor' in order to get through the 2012 election, then kept lying because he would entrap himself in a crime had he switched to telling the truth after the election.

Had 0bama told the truth about 0bamacare, HE'D PROBABLY NOT BEEN RE-ELECTED, so this 0bamacare 'bait and switch' rises to a more serious level.

When you add up all the WILLFUL LIES and distortions leading up to the 2012 election, to include the LIE that Benghazi was a 'protest over a video' and the LIE reinforced by the Census Bureau that the unemployment rate dropped to 7.9% from 8.1% right before the election, a clear case can be made for Impeachment.

Having a pathological liar in the White House is downright dangerous for America and destructive to our foreign policy, too. The totality of 0bama's lies qualifies him for Impeachment!
